Key Challenges

As one of the largest Utility companies in South America, ENSA were looking for ways to improve Billing Accuracy and reduce late billing costs with a minimal budget.

By implementing Basis Technologies utilities focused solutions, ENSA would be able to rapidly extract data from some of the largest database tables in IS-U and quickly identify all late billed customers from a range of criteria including rate, category, company code date and more.

Basis Technologies products Torch and Blade, have proven to enable savings of over £4.25million per annum and reduce billing exceptions by up to 50%. With these two tools in place, ENSA will resolve exceptions faster and ensure on time-billing, meaning a more satisfied customer base.

How we helped

Through the provision of Blade and Torch, ENSA have the tools to:

Streamline their tolerance levels and highlight potential issues in the Meter to Invoice cycle

Quickly identifying all late billed contracts with an estimated total of the late billed revenue.
